Kevylot Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 gibson sets the action low by factory default for les pauls?
DoubleSixx Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think they set them low on frets that have been plekked.
Plank_Spanker Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 The Gibson factory setup is about middle of the road.........................maybe a tad to the high side. Can't speak for the new PLEK'ed guitars, though.
Flight959 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Gibson factory setup is **** just like their quality control. Mass production.... Hmmmmmmm Flight959
DoubleSixx Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 My Studio's action was way too high for me. I think that's done so there's no fret buzz.
AXE® Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 The setups are like a crackerjack box , The surprise is always in the bottom . Kinda like the guy who cuts the nuts ...

Some old guy that won't retire and Gibson won't fire him because he's been with the company for ages...
ChanMan Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Mine was really low. Could have been set up already, though.
RichCI Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Worth considering are a few points: - If different techs at Gibson are doing the setups, it's likely that all the guitars are not being set up the same. - Often times, buying "off the rack" can mean that the guitar started out at Gibson, then was shipped to a distributor where it might sit in a hot warehouse, then it is shipped where it possibly travels through one or more different climates (temperature and humidity changes) and then finally reaches the store where it might sit in a hot warehouse and later be moved to an airconditioned showroom. All that adds up to the setup possibly being knocked all out of whack. - Customers trying out the guitars are messing with the bridges. So, while I find that Gibson is definitely less than perfect when it comes to QC, I don't believe that all setup issues are a result of how the guitars leave the factory.
